That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of those ends,
it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it and to institute new Government.

I've never heard a man stand up and condemn rape i any meaningful fashion, a singularly male against female form of violence steeped in mysoginy where the balance of power is quite badly shifted. So I wasn't surprised to read either of these posts. He misses about a dozen major league points (of which Ive posted one) and adopts the tried and tested bullshit 3 monkey 'so what' approach instead. I wasn't impressed. And this just further makes me feel modern men (yourself excluded) are a total waste of 'manly' space. Even fucking 19th century men had at least a hint of a clue, even if their clumsy approach involved patronising of a different sort. Sorry. I suppose this will help me feel less inclined to be concerned about shrill feminists, who I cannot stand, making men's lives a legal misery. Like him Ill adopt the couldn't give a shit approach!
actually I do recall one decent post on the rape element of the issue by a bloke that I found was responsible and balanced. I guess I am just not a libertarian. I dont believe in it. Maybe thats half my issue with your linked man's posts.

Odd to see the Will Self piece being cited as excellent, when it consists of obvious platitudes with which I'm sure Peter and I - and more or less every other man participating in the debate from the 'non-rapist', or at least 'not rampantly misogynist' side of things - would all 100% agree.
